Boss says roar Drayton to Wembley
Friday 23rd January 2009, 11:42AM GMT.
Market Drayton Town are hoping to be backed by a travelling support of 200 for the biggest game in their history next month.
The Midland Alliance leaders travel to Spartans South Midlands League outfit Biggleswade Town on February 7 for a last 16 tie in the FA Vase.
Victory would take Drayton just two rounds from a national final at Wembley.
Manager Simon Line is anxious to be backed by a vocal away following – a challenge taken up by committee member Roy Blaze who is also landlord of the Lord Hill pub in the town.
“Roy loves a good challenge so I’ve asked him to try and fill five coaches for the game,” said Line. “If we could fill one or two it would be a fantastic effort but hopefully everyone will get behind us.
“I know Roy is going around all 17 pubs in the town to try and drum up support.”
Tickets for the coach journey to Bedfordshire are £10 return and spaces can be booked from Roy on 07811 209 832.

After watching Drayton in the SSC against Shrewsbury, I would not be shocked if they were to get through to Wembley. A great side for their level, and a huge credit to everyone that works there.
If they were to get to Wembley, I am sure lots of Shrewsbury Town fans would travel to support them.
All the best Drayton!
